Jordan Garrett Arrested for Kidnapping and Sexual Battery

(November 27, 2023)--On November 18th, 2023, at approximately 3 a.m., Cape Coral Police Department officers responded to an emergency call in the 2000 Block of SW 21st Ter. Officers discovered two individuals, one identified as Jordan Garrett (W/M, DOB: 11/09/1993), experiencing a medical emergency. The other party, a female victim, was found in distress and exhibited clear signs of physical abuse.

The victim, in a dire plea for help, silently mouthed "save me" to an officer. Further investigation revealed she had sustained multiple bruises and injuries, reportedly inflicted by Garrett. Both parties were transported to a local hospital for medical attention.

During the hospital evaluation, extensive bruising was discovered on the victim's body. She disclosed a harrowing account of being held captive in her residence by Garrett, enduring repeated physical assaults and sexual abuse. The victim attempted to call for help earlier in the week, but Garrett had confiscated her phone, further threatening her.

The Cape Coral Police Department's investigation uncovered that Garrett forcibly detained the victim, subjecting her to continuous abuse, and prevented her from seeking medical care or contacting law enforcement. His actions culminated in a situation where the victim's life was in peril, and she was denied any means to escape or seek help.

After receiving medical clearance, Jordan Garrett was arrested and transported to the Lee County Jail. He faces multiple charges, including Battery and Sexual Battery, alongside other serious charges, including:

F.S.S. 787.01 (1a3) Kidnapping

F.S.S. 843.21(1) Depriving Crime Victim of Medical Care

F.S.S. 914.22(1e) Obstructing Justice, Preventing the communication to a law enforcement officer
